The Lord of the Rings and other works of J.R.R. Tolkien have had a far-reaching impact on culture in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. In print and on film, Tolkien’s works seem to be incredible epics, but religious aspects are less obvious. Yet Tolkien himself stated in his letters that the chief conflicts of his epic works were “about God, and His sole right to divine Honour,” and whether Sauron can wrest and destroy all that is good in Middle-earth. It is from this that readers awaken to the theological truths that imbue Tolkien’s works. In Theology and Tolkien: Constructive Theology, an international group of scholars consider how Tolkien’s works (and Jackson’s interpretations) can help us build better theologies for use in our world today. From essays on the music of creation in the Ainulindalë, to angels, demons, and Balrogs, to Tolkien’s theology of God, providence, evil, and love, to the eschatology of the Final Chord of the Great Music, this book invites the reader to journey through Middle-earth as the contributors engage the theology of Tolkien’s works and its impact on the world.

Each annual volume includes approximately 2,000 abstracts and summaries of articles and books that deal with the Bible and related literature, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, Pseudepigrapha, Non-canonical gospels, and ancient Near Eastern writings. The abstracts – which may be in English, German, or French - are arranged thematically under headings such as e.g. “Genesis”, “Matthew”, “Greek language”, “text and textual criticism”, “exegetical methods and approaches”, “biblical theology”, “social and religious institutions”, “biblical personalities”, “history of Israel and early Judaism”, and so on. The articles and books that are abstracted and reviewed are collected annually by an international team of collaborators from over 300 of the most important periodicals and book series in the fields covered.

Além de ter seus próprios méritos, a tragédia Exagoge, escrita pelo dramaturgo Ezechielus, em Alexandria, assume fundamental importância no estudo do drama grego na era helenista porque seus fragmentos representam a porção mais considerável de uma peça que foi conservada daquele período. A influência de Ésquilo e Eurípides se faz sentir e a familiaridade de Ezechielus com a dramaturgia ateniense do século V a.C. é especialmente percebida por seu contato com as tragédias Íon (de Eurípides), bem como Os persas e As súplices (de Ésquilo).
Sob o sangue coagulado, a fumaça e o barro, este livro fala sobre a evanescência da vida, e por que alguns escolhem encher sua breve lacuna de tempo com o esforço para alcançar o infinito, enquanto outros preferem a fabricação da amargura.
